Arc-Tech Completes OVO Energy HQ Refurbishment

Arc-Tech (Scotland) has successfully completed an extensive, Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) refurbishment at the Scottish headquarters of OVO Energy.

Based on Cadogan Street in Glasgow's city centre, OVO operates across four floors of the 'Cadworks', the city's first-ever operational net zero carbon building.

Spanning nearly 34,000 sq. ft. of floor space used for training and events for OVO employees and clients, the refurbishment was principally led by Main Contractor, Linear Design and Construct, whom were responsible for the installation of new internal stairs, walls, doors, finishes and FF&E installations.

Arc-Tech were appointed by Linear in 2022 and undertook the delivery of all M&E Services.

Intelligent lighting controls, site-wide life safety integrations and sustainable HVAC technologies to aid energy efficiency and improve air quality were among the breadth of services included in the extensive works package.

John Gallacher, Arc-Tech (Scotland) Managing Director, said: "Developed by FORE Partnership, the Cadworks is a landmark building for Glasgow and is a testament to the city's ability to attract renowned companies such as OVO Energy.

"The works package undertaken on behalf of our client Linear was extensive but the end result speaks for itself. A high-quality finish has been augmented by our team's approach to workmanship with an excellent standard of installation seen throughout.

"We thank Linear for their continued support and look forward to working with them again soon."

FORE Partnership is a London-based property investment firm that formally opened the Cadworks in 2023.

It not only features Grade A office space but also Scotland's first cycle-in access ramp, and the first private fleet of Swifty Scooters for tenants to use free. It was recently named Scotland's highest-scoring 'ActiveScore' building for its commitment to cycling and other forms of active travel.
